The front panel of the maXim can be divided into two areas;
• Faders and mastering.
• Recording and editing.
Many of the buttons listed below perform more than one function. The current function depends
upon what the operator is doing at the time. Each of these different functions is described under the
relevant button below.

1. Yellow Bank Faders

• In WIDE mode, it controls the overall level of the single wide preset consisting of the Yellow bank
faders and the Red bank faders.
